Roar in 4

Four-Year Guarantee

All first-time, full-time undergraduates enrolled at Buffalo State for the fall semester are automatically eligible for the Roar in 4 guarantee—which guarantees students' ability to graduate with a bachelor's degree* within four years.

Eligibility

To remain eligible, students must map out an academic plan in any bachelor's degree program (that is not a dual-degree program):

Take an appropriate mix of Intellectual Foundations (general education), major, and elective courses every semester until requirements are fulfilled.

Roar in 4 Resources

Bachelor's degrees consist of major and general education (Intellectual Foundations) requirements and electives.

If a major required course is not available during a student's fourth year of study, and all requirements have been met, students, after consultation with an adviser, are to submit a written request for accommodation to the chair of the major department if an independent study, course by contract, or course substitution is deemed necessary. Written requests for tuition waiver if options are not viable will be made to the Provost through the major department prior to the beginning of classes of the last term of the students' four-year plan.
